COLUMBIA, MO — The University of Missouri athletics department announced its full schedule, with tip times and broadcast details included, for the program’s men’s basketball team on Wednesday.
The Tigers will play 32 regular season games, 18 at home, 10 on the road, and four at neutral sites, beginning with the season opener on November 3 at Mizzou Arena against Cleveland State.
Mizzou will play 14 non-conference games, including highly anticipated matchups against Saint Louis University, Marquette, Pittsburgh, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, and the annual “Braggin’ Rights Game” against Illinois.
Once the season moves into the new year, Missouri will play 18 games against Southeastern Conference opponents (nine at home and nine on the road). The SEC schedule begins on January 2, when the Tigers travel to Fayetteville to take on Arkansas.

Mizzou’s schedule had been released back in July. The big news on Wednesday was the announcement of each games tip time and details of where the game would be broadcast.
Twenty-five of the 32 games will be broadcast on television, with all 32 available through streaming services.
Fifteen of Missouri’s games will appear on linear channels, such as ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, or FS1. The Tigers will also play 10 games that will be broadcast on the SEC Network.

Mizzou began training camp two weeks ago and will continue throughout October, which will include a pair of exhibition games at Kansas State (October 23) and at UNLV (October 29).
Mizzou’s first official road game will come on December 20, when the Tigers play in Bloomington, Ind., against Big 10 Conference powerhouse Indiana. That game will be broadcast on FS1.
